NEW U FITNESS FIRST PERSONAL TRAINER for the Wii

You may have all noticed I have been blogging about my wieght loss programme recently and that I have been using a variety of budget methods to help me out. These mostly include walking, cutting down on portion size, considered eating and playing footie in the garden.

I have been lucky enough to be able to use a couple of other really useful and slighlty more luxurious weight loss support gatdgets. One of these being the New U fitneess first personal trainer for the Wii. It’s really fab…let me tell you about it. These are the highlights of it for me:

NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer provides professional guidance from Fitness First personal trainers – all of whom have an established track record of helping people to improve their fitness. It’s great to see really trainers on the screen not flat images…they give me lots of thumbs up when I do well and sad faces when I totally don’t get it!

It allows users to eat different food every day for 20 weeks, preventing boredom of eating the same food, which can be a common reason for failure. Users are asked to select their nutritional preferences at the outset of any program; these choices are then used to create a nutritional plan to suit each individual’s taste. This totally catered for my vegetriansim but 2 fussy kids and a hubby that eats later and never hwat we have justy couldnt be actored in!

I have lost 11lb isn the last 5 weeks and have used this programme about 3 x a week for about 30 mins each time. I am pretty unfit and it has stretched and challenged me but not unbearably so. I haven’t need a babysitter and there are no ongoing cost. I have 59lbs left to lose. watch this space!!!!!
